The design story began in the mid 80's creating winter trousers from blankets and summer dresses from dyed flat cotton sheets, repurposing outdated household textiles.  It then progressed to men's ties and shirts, transforming men's formal wear into unique women's fashion.  This blog follows the journey of a book of silk upholstery samples, transformed into 3 skirts.
